WordPress 2.7 was officially released yesterday. There are a number of pretty dramatic (yet exciting) changes on the admin side. Here are my favorites:
Upgrading becomes much easier
Threaded comments, and better comment layout in general
New admin look makes navigation quicker
Compatible with mu
This was really just a test post to make sure mu still works. I performed [...]

Look up - directly above this text. See it? That’s one of mu’s newest features. I decided that as a gesture of convenience, mu will now create a short link anytime you publish a post. Since it usually already does it anyway, I decided to make it automatic and give you the chance to display [...]

I was informed of a small flaw in the code that controls the URLs for your microblogging account settings pages (thanks Katie). It was a pretty small fix, and it’s been sent off to the SVN repo so you should be prompted to update soon.
At some point I also moved the options page from the [...]

I stumbled across a forum thread at geeks.pirillo.com where a user posed the title question: should programmers use older hardware? The rationale behind the question was that the developer would have a better feel for how the code runs on slower machines. If it runs well on slow machines, it should run even better on [...]

I changed the style of permalinks today from the default to the day and name setting. This should have no ill effects on any previous permalinks and hopefully won’t cause any problems with links leading to a 404. That’s the quick PSA for the day — if you see any dead links, please let me [...]

If you’ve got any questions, comments, suggestions, or need help, this is the place to post it. For a description of [...]

I’ve applied to have mu hosted on the official WordPress plugins directory, and was approved this morning. In the next few days I’ll be working on getting everything uploaded to that site, and hopefully mu will be more visible on the official plugin page. Stay tuned, mu watchers, we’re nearing the initial release date. No [...]

I’ve finally reached a point where I’m comfortable dropping the source code for mu. mu’s project home will be hosted on Google Code because it’s much easier than setting up a repo and Trac. Everything you need to know will be over there, and I’ll update the blog accordingly when something noteworthy comes [...]

One of the characteristics of a web developer is that they’re always looking for new ways to do things. I’m no different. For the past year, I’ve primarily been using PHP to build web applications. For the most part, I don’t have any major gripes against PHP other than the syntax is [...]

I may have finally figured out how to handle future posts and call a plugin when the post goes live. I was previously using the ‘publish_post’ action hook, but that doesn’t work for future posts. I figured that there are a lot of bloggers who publish their posts in the future, so this [...]
